For me, definately the SAW films, the only reason I would watch it is to know the FINAL ending,
or to see the traps. I mean, every SAW film is based on different traps and seeing who will survive and et cetera. The plot keeps on staying the same after each movie, I've had enough. (=

I HATE TWILIGHT W/ A PASSION. [don't hurt me fanboys and fangirls] I just dislike Twilight, and the movie is no exception. New Moon is coming out in November, and I am NOT excited for it. To me, the movie just LACKED originality! I mean, VAMPIRES IN LOVE? Doesn't the idea seemed ripped off from Dracula, a true classic?

OH MY GOSH, JAMES BOND MUST STAY! 007 FTWW! The movies never fail to dissapoint! [Maybe the latest, Quantum of Solace is an exception.] The missions are so interesting! I will cry, when these films end (':
I want to see what happens with Terminator as well, the idea seems REALLY realistic, this may happen someday, consider it a warning to us humans... O________>
AND OF COURSE the Batman movies! They are so GREAT. Simply EPIC! The Dark Knight was so suspenseful! The Batman 3 is supposebly going to feature the Riddler, Catwoman, and Penguin. I'm excited. (':

Lord of the rings should have lasted as long as Harry Potter went...

And Pirates of the Carribean was mega fun....

Absolutely Twilight should just STOP, ergh.. and yeah all those cheesy movies that are good as standalones but shouldn't have sequels that will absolutely not be as good as the original, ie. Shrek, Madagascar, Ice Age, etc. Pirates of the Carribean 3 was crap as well, I loved the first two but the third bored me throughout the whole movie.. seriously sleep.gif are they really going to make a 4th?

I can't wait for the Underworld 3 movie though, but I feel kinda bereft knowing there's no Selene or Michael in it since it's a prequel.. so after this one, I'm going to say they should stop.

Pirates of the Caribbean for sure. I cannot believe that they're making a fourth one. The second and third POTC movies are already killing Orlando's and Keira's careers. If those two sign on again... Christ, they won't have any careers anymore. :3

My opinion:


The Mummy should have ended with the second part
Pirates of the Caribbean should have ended with the first one.
Bring it On should have ended with the first one.
Shrek..ionno..the first original one was good and different..then the ones afterwards kinda got annoying
Twilight should have just stayed as a book
X-men should end with the third...because the third movie kinda started falling apart.
Rush Hour should stop.. the third one was a disappointment.

Spiderman should continue
Princess Diaries...i wanna see her get married..but im fine with just the first and second one
The Matrix should continue..i want neo to come back to life...the third one was killing off everyone.

Twilight needs to go. Pleasepleaseplease. I don't care what people say. Changing the director and actors is not going to help when you base movies off of books like that :/. Just, no.

I love me some LOTRs though. The Hobbit is coming soon it seems though biggrin.gif.
Oh! And Silent Hill! I LOVED the first movie. The ending pissed me off and made me want more.

The Twilight books are long overdue. I don't blame the movies for being made because the books exist. The books shouldn't have even existed in the first place for the movies to be made. lol.

(Long rant about Twilight here) ~Meant for another discussion~ lol.

the unfortunate
Twilight (you can't put a believable Renesmee on screen with Edward using his mouth to give Bella a C-section, plz)
POTC (never really liked it)
Transporter (first one was good, second was not, third did not watch)
Spiderman (only because the last movie was awful)
Superman (only because the last movie was complete utter crap) ~needs a complete franchise revamp~
Scary Movie (first few were fun, then it became completely useless and overdone)
Saw (only saw the second, then found all the other ones completely pointless because it's the same deal)
Xmen (slowly becoming stupid)
XXX (first was good, second did not watch because it was totally different)
HSM (only because I never liked musicals, and for kids too? lol)

the must-haves
007 (timeless~ even if a few turn out bad)
Batman (should forever stay) *biased*
The Fast and the Furious (still has potential even though the third was horrid)

There's a lot more, I just can't remember them for now.

madagascar should've definitely stopped.
the second one was dumb. and also shrek. i didn't like the 3rd one .
they should've just left it with the happy ending with fiona and shrek imo.

Shrek should've finished with the second one. The third one... It didn't manage to hook me in within the first 10 minutes, so yeah.

I loved all the POTC movies. They're interesting enough to keep me watching. But a fourth is a bit... o_o I dunno, a trilogy sounds so much better. I think they should just reuse Jack Sparrow's character and make a spinoff instead of a fourth movie.
The second Madagascar movie was SO MUCH BETTER than the first. The first sucked IMO.
I've never watched Saw, Ring, Grudge or Scary Movie.
Twilight... haven't seen it, but I think it should stop. =|
Harry Potter - needs moar. They're one of the few book to movie adaptations I've actually liked.

I agree. The Bond series should stay forever. Never fails to disappoint me. I have high hopes for the new terminator especially with Christian Bale in it as John Connor.

The movies which should end though are Spiderman and Saw. They get worse everytime.

Bourne Trilogy should just end with the 3rd. The upcoming 4th, no idea how it's going to be played out.
Oceans are entertaining but can be done without. Oceans' 12 was terrible. :x
James Bond series should always continue! You'll always need a smooth and efficient SPY. xD

same here...same here. The thing is I have to sit through my friends gushing on how Edward/Rob is so hot, sexy, blah blah blah. tears.gif When I say that he's creepy, stalkerish, and obsessive...i get that dry.gif look from them...hahahahaha.......I did watch Twilight cause my bff was paying for it and I had soooooosoooo much fun laughing at how insanely stupid (my brain cells must have decreased just by watching it) it was....I had fun snarking at it though..so yeah I do wish that all this Twilight hype would just go away but then I'm weird enough to laugh and find entertainment in the Twilight franchise! Talk about masochism.. sweatingbullets.gif

I don't remember Dracula really falling in love with anyone...but I could be wrong since I've read that a while ago.

Trust me...there are more disturbing things in Twilight than that! and I'm not even start with imprinting, stalkerish behaviors, wishing to suicide, etc. suicide by sparkling. ph34r.gif

Got a lil off-topic. Movies that should never go away.
LOTR should never end! The quotes were always so AMAZING!

Step Up should not have had a sequel.
HSM shouldn't have been allowed to hit the screens...ever.
Most sequels etc usually end up repetitive and never are as good as the first one.
